Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Personalized Treatment of Trace Element and Vitamin Status in Men with Initial Stages of Androgenic Alopecia Treated with Conservative Therapy
TLDR Personalized vitamin and trace element treatment improves hair density and reduces hair loss in men with early-stage androgenic alopecia.
The study evaluated the effectiveness of personalized treatment of trace elements and vitamins in men with early-stage androgenic alopecia (AA) undergoing conservative therapy. Involving 100 participants, the research found that personalized supplementation significantly improved hair density and reduced hair loss. Specifically, there was an 8.3% increase in hair density in the frontal area and a 3% increase in the occipital area, with a 12.5% increase in hair diameter in the frontal area. Folate levels positively correlated with an increase in anagen phase hair, while selenium levels negatively correlated with hair density and anagen phase hair, suggesting a potentially negative effect of selenium supplementation. The study supports correcting folate and vitamin E deficiencies but advises caution with selenium supplementation in AA treatment.
